After 11 days of being appointed exec of parents wills...the partner of parents attorney found Dad's will.
The one we have been hunting for years.
:/
So back to court to inform the judge.
Friday the 13th... and I have found out a warrant is outstanding on me.
:/ Background check pulled up a Shop- lifting, etc. from 2007.
Under my married name that I left behind over 20 years ago.
In a town 50 miles away.
But my SS number, married name, Date of birth matching.
So a trip to the police station is on the list of things to do to get this straighten out.
Sahahria, Today while digging out dirty old junk during a state job it hit me- you are gone. I always have handle loss in a strange way. Today, covered in dirt, dust, picking up junk off the floor to put in a box .... I felt it. Days later but it hit me.
You are gone. I will not see you on cam again, we will not talk, I will not read your words in your journal again.
The times in House Eternal- how you welcome me into the fold of family. How you became the Doe, all long legs and tripping over yourself. I remember seeing a doe, just like it was yesterday one night during a job, just standing beside the road. I said then "Look- it's Doe." and smiled. That was many years ago, when you first picked your animal.
I will never see another doe and not think of you, Ann.
You gave me a warm welcome into your Coven. Set up for members to express themselves in a loving, caring way. The newsletter that was so much fun, and so much left undone due to life.
I was honored you would included me, always taken back by your love and support.
And the time that the Coven did the 'one rate' after posting in the main forum it was only for a few days then 10's would be given ... and the shit storm afterwards by folks who couldn't read.
Our Ann. She loved life.
She had such a passion about the charity named after her friend who died of cancer.... only to have it effect her own body. I still have the poster you sent me of the artwork for the charity, you signed it. Such a special gift for the donation. But that was you.
I still have the candles I bought from you. A ritual and burning of one is going to be done this Sunday in honor of you, and to express this sadness I feel.
God how I hate cancer.
But you, our brave Doe, you showed us what true grace was. I will always regret not going to NY for Otter's wedding. I will always regret not meeting you in person. I will regret I did not give into the burning wish to go, to see you. But life step in and I couldn't make that trip. I am so sorry for that Doe, truly I am.
But know I will always keep our times close to my heart. The silly messages, the words of kindness, the love and friendship you gifted me with.
I posted this song for you way back when during a rough patch on the site for you- the Admin who liked to stir the pot, see what floated to the top. :)
Rest in peace Doe. I hope you are running as your animal you claimed in the zoo. Running left instead of right, away from the other deer, being who you always was. A free spirit. It is how I will see you for the rest of my life.

I feel your pain of not making the time to go see our Doe. That's something I will always regret. But I won't regret the many conversations and time spent with her. And I'm so glad that I got to know you and the rest of the crew, along with her, because you ladies showed me with grace and style what it meant to really grow up at a time when I didn't want to. I credit you ladies with making me who I am today. All my love, and the Monkey will always be around (even if only in the shadows.)
That took what??? maybe a week's time? From the "I am so sorry for being an ass. For calling you names, blah blah blah message. And the journal repeating the same blah blah blah... " we Admins was betting on how long it would take.
Darn- hope I won the pool.
Yeap, same pile of cold dog shit, same stink.
You will never change it only took you not getting your way to prove it. That and time. You can't hide who you are for long. That true face always shows.
Once she came back- you couldn't be far.
So busy. Work is going on, as normal. One day busy, long hours and the next sitting in the office and waiting for the phone to ring. The truck is home from being rebuilt. Painter is coming Monday, said he would have it done in a few days as in mid week. Thing is we have a large state highway move going on during that time so the rental truck will just have to wait to be returned.
But the truck bed is beautiful. All white and shiny, all the rust gone. The insurance company spent 12,500.00 on the repairs. I spent 6,000.00 to replace some rusted pieces, repair a wheel box that was rusted out, replace and patch the wooden floor in places that was rotted. So from roof to floor- new. And add a 2,000.00 hand painted sign and it is back to normal. Who we kidding? It is better then it was. But hey- that is just the outcome of the welding shop burning it.
Bank account is empty after that 6,000.00 I didn’t plan on spending. Still need new tires on the front of the truck, which is what I plan to buy … and maybe show a little earning on the books this years unlike the last 5 years. But oh well...
Personal- going to court Monday to be appointed executive to Mom and Dad’s wills. Only bug that could show up is the oldest sister. Since the last 8 years we have seen her three times, two of those the funeral of her parents. Had to contact her on Facebook to tell her of Mom’s death as the phone number we had was disconnected. She left the family, and the business she was part owner of over 20 years ago to leave me running it alone so we will see.
She was in town this week. I know as the local police department called me to confront me about her reported thief of her CD’s and stock papers. Now mind you- they are in her name, has nothing to do with me but it seems she can’t find them so she blames me. Why am I not shocked at this? And why the hell the local police department took it upon themselves to call and ask me? Yeah, still trying to understand what that was all about. Maybe the first shots in a long fight. Oh well… I like the attorney me and my sisters picked. She is older, country and very smart.
Brother is doing well. We are trying to get some assistance with him, his care. Hope that comes about but it takes a lot of time it seems.
While the rentals are full I am having to deal with a break in on a building we own that been empty for a while. And dealing with the tearing down of another that has past it’s use. Going to be a busy winter, dealing with that alone.
And I have at least two weeks of good 10 hours days of billing to do before the end of the year.
And want to take two or three more long drives to take photos, a day away before the weather gets bad.
So in other words- busy. If not work it is handling personal things.
But still here, still keeping it going day by day. The family needs a long winter, some time away from each other. Sisters need a break from each other, hoping once my brother care is set it can happen. Too much stress, tried, worn out from years of taking care of Mom – they need a vacation from each other and from caring for my brother.
My body is OK- but my blood work came back bad. So going to have to eat more healthy, not stress eat like I have for a few weeks. Chest/ breathing still off, coughing. While we are roll playing this Saturday I really didn’t want to. Thank goodness my body is not use to the new time change as I been trying to play catch up on life when I am up early. Spent yesterday morning going in a hour early to catch up on paperwork. Housework last night, again early this morning as I had to get up at 6:00 to keep going on the housework. Where I had been ill/ sick I really haven’t touched the house in a few weeks.
So worn out from the two night, early morning cleaning and putting Halloween decorations away. But it is done. Now I am ready for a sleeping pill, sleep till noon if my mind would keep silent that long.
So that is it. As far as it goes- life is good. Family is safe, broke but truck is home at least. Still not heard about the list of items inside- that was another 7.500.00. See how that pans out.
